Exquisite Christmas Banquets and New Year Celebrations
For those seeking a truly celebratory dining experience, explore our five-course Maharaja Menu. Begin with crisp papad and homemade chutneys before savouring our Lehsuni Malai Tikka—chicken delicately marinated with hung curd, cheese, and fresh garlic. For the main event, choose from outstanding regional dishes such as Nariyal Gosht, featuring diced leg of lamb slow-cooked with coconut, mustard seeds, and aromatic curry leaves. For our vegetarian guests, the Maharani Menu offers a five-course journey of equal sophistication.
Alternatively, elevate your celebration with our Shahi Deluxe Menu, presenting five sumptuous courses including our luxurious King Prawn Makhni, gently simmered in a creamed tomato and fenugreek sauce.
